ASZC Fall 2026 Silent Retreat @ Watershet

WATERSHED SILENT RETREAT

Overview: Please join us for a multi-day Zen meditation retreat (Sesshin) in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Watershed Retreat Center is located on 94 forested acres at the foot of the Appalachian mountains.

Watershed Retreat Center is essentially Bryan Price and Kylie Brown’s home. There is a main house for meals, sleeping and showering, and a smaller cabin a short walk away, which is used as the meditation hall. Meals are informal and vegetarian (with optional dairy and eggs). Medication is broken into 25 minutes of sitting meditation and 5 minutes of walking meditation over several blocks throughout the day, lasting from 2-3 hours. Additionally, Samu (simple working meditation tasks), will be assigned to all retreat participants to help the retreat run smoothly for all. Everyone is encouraged to attend all meditation sessions, but not required to attend all sessions. The retreat is silent from 8pm on Wednesday evening until mid-morning on Sunday.

Where: Watershed Retreat Center – 361 Albone Branch Road, Hayesville, NC 28904
